About Us

Beluga Books is a small, home based business, based in Orléans, an eastern suburb in Ottawa, Ontario (Canada).

Hi, I'm Emily, the Mum (and procrastinator, seeing as when I write this, we have been in business almost a full year and I'm just starting to work on the website now- whoops!) behind Beluga Books. This is my "side hustle"(although I strongly dislike that term as I prefer meandering to hustle culture) as I work a Mon-Fri corporate workplace wellness job. I guess you could say that Beluga Books is now my side-side hustle as I also recently opened a part-time private practice (I'm a Registered Social Worker), specializing in perinatal mental health counselling and support. (Phew, reading that aloud, it does sound like I hustle!)
